Corinne stared at Edmund sympathetically.
"That's enough, Mister Lucas," she said, jumping in to defend the poor man. She then turned to Edmund and said, "Why don't you go out first, Edmund?"
Edmund bowed to her gratefully. "Yes, Miss Corinne."
Lucas became even more upset and jealous when he heard her call Edmund without using the word 'Mister'.
'How can she be so casual with Edmund when I don't get to have that privilege?' he thought seethingly. 'Hmph! Oh well.'
Not wanting Corinne to think he was ill-tempered, Lucas decided to let the whole thing slide. He waved 'Bryan' over, saying, "Come here, Bryan."
'Bryan' became a little sad at being scolded by Corinne. At first, he was hesitant to go over to Lucas, but he somehow felt like he was familiar, so he walked over to him docilely.
Lucas picked him up lovingly. "What's the matter? Did you get scolded by your Mommy?"
'Bryan' nodded with a pout.
Lucas patted him gently on the head. "That's because she's worried about you. You shouldn't run off by yourself next time, understood? She's going to be worried about you again if you do."
Corinne looked angrily at 'Bryan'. "Next time? I'm not going to look for him next time. He can go wherever he wants!"
Even though Sophia told Benjamin she was his Mommy, he never felt that way about her. She felt more like a stranger to him, but the same could not be said about Corinne. For some reason, he found Corinne as familiar as his father and would always want her to hug him.
'Could it be that the kind lady is actually my real Mommy? But… Daddy has never met her before, so how could she give birth to me?' he thought. He told himself it was impossible for Corinne to be his Mommy and that he was being delusional.
Corinne's heart softened when she saw the boy crying nonstop. "Stop crying. A big boy like you shouldn't cry so much. Come here. You're dirtying your uncle's clothes with your tears and snot."
'Bryan' looked at the wet spot created by him on Lucas' suit sheepishly.
"It's okay. I don't mind," said Lucas with a doting smile.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
